But, for a "Date read" column, I would like to be able to delete dates entered in error.

It doesn't appear that you can delete it. I suppose you could create a new Date read column and just use a text field or you could just select all empty and incorrect date fields and change them all to July 7777.

Interesting in Windows that little corner to the left of the "J" in jobs is a diagonal arrow only and will only resize both aspects of the window at the same time.

This person also had problems.

The window was taller than the screen height and I couldn't see the lower right window corner.

I was curious if it was possible to create a custom column that would also create collections on our devices? Or if the option is there which one is it?

This is on the to-do list, and is something I personally want a great deal. As usual, there are complexities to overcome. In this case we must completely rebuild how metadata moves to and from the devices so that the devices can see/use user-defined fields (columns). The feature will arrive sometime after 0.7 settles down.

Once the feature is available, you will control it using the same mechanism as today, by changing the device customization to indicate which fields/columns are to be used to make collections.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm glad to know it's not something I overlooked and that it's already on the to-do list.

I love the "On Device" feature, but it doesn't seem to be working entirely correctly - Calibre is showing that a number of books that are on my Kindle aren't on the device even though they are - these are books that I sent to the device using Calibre 6.55 (or whatever the most recent pre-7 version was), and they're right there on the Kindle when I unplug it, but Calibre's not seeing that.

Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?

I jumped the gun with this question - I've figured it out. For the mismatches, the book titles weren't matching on the device and on Calibre; I think I must have messed with the metadata for those books at some point in the distant past. My fault, not Calibre's; sorry for the false alarm!

You clear a date by setting it to 01 Jan 0101. I know this is ugly, but making it easier is moderately difficult to implement,and low on my priority list.

I submitted code for true and false date searches. I imagine that it will be in the next release.

Thanks heaps chaley. I tried 01 Jan 0101, but it would not let me type in 0101 - it stopped at 01 and ignored the rest. However, I fiddled and discovered that just changing the year to 0000 did the job (day/month don't matter). So that's fine as is, thanks

I could have sworn I had already tried a year of 0000, but obviously not.

Looks great Kovid, only just installed so not tried much yet, but looks excellent so far,

It did seem Slow installing, compared to earlier versions,

Thanks Kovid,

It's also bigger (I keep previous installation files in case I need to revert so it was easy to compare file size) which may explain why it took longer to install. Fortunately, that is a onetime wait more than compensated by opening and load so much faster.
